Buenos Aires, February 23 (NA) – The conflict between the government of Javier Milei and Axel Kicillof escalated this Monday, when the Chief of Staff, Manuel Adorni, announced that any citizen will not only be able to consult the value of municipal taxes in Buenos Aires province but also report them through a state website. Via X, the coordinating minister stated that through https://www.argentina.gob.ar/jefatura/tasas-municipales, each user can find out how much each municipality charges in municipal taxes. Additionally, they will have the option to file a report on said tax. Adorni's post.

This is a tax paid by citizens and companies in exchange for a public service, administrative service, or the use of public property. The conflict came to light last December when the ruling party spread the word that mayors from the Justicialist Party (PJ) charge municipal taxes at a 6% rate on Gross Income, such as Lanús. Quilmes, for example, taxes the activity at a 3.74% rate. Minister of Economy Luis Caputo referred to the Lanús case regarding the tax on purchases in the district's supermarkets. “‘Progressives’ are concerned with progressing themselves and their friends, at the expense of those who have the least,” Caputo wrote on his X account. Julián Álvarez, the district's mayor, responded that the tax is a product of the “disenfinancing” from the Nation: “There is a fierce disenfinancing to which they subject us, both Lanús and all municipalities,” he replied.
